States Expand Premerger Filings Family by Adopting “Baby-HSR” Laws to Review More Transactions
In a growing trend, states are requiring more premerger filings by enacting “baby-HSR” laws modeled after the federal Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Act. These state-level statutes require parties to certain mergers and acquisitions to make an informational filing and, in certain cases, observe a waiting period before a transaction can be completed. While most state-specific laws have been limited to transactions involving the health care sector, Washington state is now the first state to expand their health care provider-focused statute to also capture transactions across all industries where one of the parties has its principal place of business located in the state or has significant annual sales in the state. The law goes into effect on July 27, 2025.1 Other states may follow suit to require filings in connection with transactions across all industries based on a similar “nexus” with the state.
